West Jordan, UT HOA Rules: CC&R Enforcement (2026)

Section 11-1-1 sets the baseline relationship between West Jordan's land disturbance ordinance (title 11) and private governing documents recorded against a subdivision. Subsection A states plainly that title 11 does not nullify the more restrictive provisions of covenants, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs), homeowners' association agreements, or similar private covenants and agreements: if an HOA's own recorded documents impose a tighter standard than the city code, the HOA's stricter rule still applies to the property. Subsection B goes further and makes this a general conflict-resolution rule for the whole title: where the substantive terms of title 11 conflict with the substantive terms of any other title, law, ordinance, or rule, including a private covenant, the more restrictive provision controls, not automatically the city's own rule.

That said, the city code does not make itself the enforcement mechanism for CC&Rs. West Jordan enforces its own land disturbance, building, and land use titles through the Building and Safety Division, the City Engineer, and code enforcement citations under the applicable title, while CC&R violations remain a private matter between a homeowner and the HOA under the association's own governing documents and, ultimately, state law governing common-interest communities. Subsection C separately distinguishes substantive from procedural rules, directing users to title 15 of the city code for the application procedures that go with title 11's substantive land disturbance standards, and providing that if a procedural provision in title 11 clearly conflicts with title 15, title 15's procedure controls.
